Role.  An overview of the opportunity:

We are open to hiring either an Analyst or Senior Analyst, based on experience levels. Your role will have wide-ranging responsibilities focused on creating valuable insights for our enterprise (CPG) customers and driving profitable growth for our business, and will span 2 primary objectives: 

1. Partnering with our Enterprise teams to provide insights and recommendations on promotion, distribution, and pricing solutions for our large CPG customers. You will be a thought-leader to our Sales & Client Management teams on how to translate a brand’s promotional strategy into clear success criteria by identifying, measuring and analyzing promotional performance as well as designing and recommending innovative fact-based solutions to deliver value to our customers. You enjoy thinking through the questions that prove business value, identifying the data needed to answer those questions, crunching numbers, and clearly articulating results. Your skill in drawing conclusions from data will help our customers measure the improvement that Skupos drives in their retail, pricing, and promotional operations. Given your customer-facing analysis, you should have a strong business acumen and be able to interface well with customers in person or on the phone to give voice to your findings. 
   
2. Partner cross-functionally with leaders in Sales, Marketing, Customer Success, and Product to track internal performance and provide recommendations on how to build a business to scale and improve performance. In many ways, you will act as a management consultant to internal stakeholders by identifying opportunity areas, building out a strategy of addressing those opportunities, and assisting with executing on that strategy. This will require thinking through the key success metrics for performance tracking, identifying how to get the required data, converting the data into clear recommendations, and partnering across the organization to get alignment and put your strategy in place. 

Given that this role will be involved in analyzing performance across the entirety of the business, you must be excited about thinking holistically on how to build a business to scale.
